Whining to follow! Feel free to skip this section, but it's included so people understand my viewpoint.

Well, I'm documenting some of my journeys through the beginning of E-Uni. Full disclosure, I was here for a year before, and took a "break." Last time I was here, I fell into a trap that I don't intend to fall into this time. I wanted to learn about wormholes but to do that you need the sophomore title. My play style is incompatible with the Sophomore title in general, and as a result, I ended up playing the game a way other than how I wanted to, so I could get the chance to learn what living in wspace is like.

Well, I'm documenting some of my journeys through the beginning of E-Uni. Full disclosure, I was here for a year before, and took a "break." Last time I was here, I fell into a trap that I don't intend to fall into this time. I wanted to learn about [wormholes] but to do that you need the sophomore title. My play style is incompatible with the [[Titles#Sophomore|sophomore title]] in general, and as a result, I ended up playing the game a way other than how I wanted to, so I could get the chance to learn what living in wspace is like.

Coming back this time, I still have the same interests. I explore, I fleet once in a while, and I play around in wormhole space. I don't have a lot of time, so scheduled fleets are pretty rare for me. I don't have time to block out 3 hours of time where I can be at the computer and on mumble without stepping away for periods of time. I'm a solo player that takes part in chat, I'm not good enough to teach stuff and don't intend to pretend, I'm extremely casual, and I don't really set goals. I've essentially been told that to get sophomore, I have to do the exact opposite of all of that :) I have no intention of dong that. This is a game I'm supposed to find fun. I'm not going to play a month the way someone else thinks I should play and burn out again.

I've been given some options:

* Teach - I don't know what I'm doing. The goal is to learn, kind of chicken and egg.

* [[Teaching_Classes_at_EVE_University|Teach]] - I don't know what I'm doing. The goal is to learn, kind of chicken and egg.

* ~~Bulleted list item~~

* [[FC_Guide|FC Fleets]] - I don't have a lot of predictable 3 hour blocks I can set aside. Plus I'm not comfortable with people relying on me to give them even a slight chance of coming back alive :) Testing the waters in HSC, people have not been keen on the advert, "I will probably get you killed"

* Do [[The Explorers Shadow]] on the wiki, and document it - The next titles person I talked to, then told me this didn't count. After I did it. It was still fun, and I recommend it.

* Do ~~the explorers shadow~~ on the wiki, and document it - The next titles person I talked to, then told me this didn't count. After I did it. It was still fun, and I recommend it.

* Show [http://killfeed.eveuniversity.org/?a=pilot_detail&plt_id=82378 killboard] activity with other unistas - Maybe eventually I'll have enough. So far I've only been on 4 fleets, which I think is a huge amount for someone with my level of free time. They all take an hour before you can even get started, and are hit and miss if you kill anything at all. I originally wanted to play [[Guide_to_Logistics|logi]] in fleets, but I will put a hold on that until I have the sophmore title. I can't waste opportunities to get the KB stats the Uni wants by doing something like that. My first [[Guide_to_Logistics|logi]] attempt no one could answer how the FCs add us to the killmails, and no [http://forum.eveuniversity.org/viewforum.php?f=186 AAR] was written, so there was nothing to comment on. I did comment on the kills, though. I'll pick up [[Guide_to_Logistics|logi]] once I've checked the KB stats box. I also participated in a few fleets where we had no kills, unfortunately, so those don't count.

* References - I talk in chat a lot, but I'm shy. Anyone who isn't new is on mumble, and I'm not going to be on mumble if I'm not doing fleets. Not my thing. References are out.

Write substantial wiki guides - I'd be making stuff up. I don't think that's a good idea, but I'd do it if required.
